Tình hình Chile thế nào rồi?

Which countries are administering China's vaccines?

More than 80 countries are using China's Covid vaccines, including many in Asia, among them Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

However, some countries that opted for the Chinese jabs have high vaccination rates, and are still seeing a surge in infection numbers.

For instance, Chile re-imposed a curfew (giới nghiêm) and brought back restrictions on travelling (hạn chế đi lại) in response to the Delta variant (biến thể), which is more transmissible (truyền nhiễm) than previous variants.

More than 70% of Chileans are fully vaccinated, most with the Sinovac vaccine.

The Seychelles and Mongolia, meanwhile, have recently recorded some of the highest increase in cases per capita, despite their small populations.

Both are relying heavily on Sinopharm and their vaccination programmes are advanced: 68% of adults are fully vaccinated in the Seychelles and 55% in Mongolia.

Thailand has changed its vaccine policy to mix China's Sinovac with the AstraZeneca vaccine in a bid to boost protection after hundreds of medical workers caught Covid despite being fully vaccinated with Sinovac.

Meanwhile in Indonesia, the main doctors and nurses' association said at least 30 healthcare workers died despite receiving two doses of the Sinovac vaccine.

The country is now planning to switch to different Covid-19 vaccines for second doses or administer booster shots to increase efficacy.
